| This new CD from Flagship features the photography of master
modeler Peter
Van Buren on a recent visit to the USS Tarawa. As a model, Peter knows
the kind of details we want to see and he did a great job of shooting all
those obscure areas of the ship and plenty of detail items that will help
you super detail to your hearts content. The images are pretty good and
are imbedded in PDF format. It would be nice if a menu had been included
for faster navigation, but it's really not hard to double click a file
on the CD. |
The CD is organized into six separate files with the photos
arranged according to the categories below. Sample screen captures of each
section are shown below. These are smaller and lower resolution than those
on the CD. The 90 pictures on the CD are better, but could have been much
larger. Maybe we can get Rusty to pitch in and buy Peter a better camera!

| It plays in a standard CD or DVD player and uses Adobe
Acrobat to view these files. It can downloaded for free from the Adobe
site. |
 |
| Conclusions: This is CD number FMCD-11 and will
give you all the necessary views to super detail your Tarawa or one of
her sister ships. I only wish that the images were in a higher resolution.
It lists for $19.95 a fair price for this photo tour. It is available
direct from Flagship via the
website. |
